A Gambia specialist is looking to the trade to help boost a tourism “resurgence” in the country following the Ebola outbreak.

The Gambia Experience brochure

The Gambia Experience launched its new brochure last week amid hopes of attracting interest from agents for its range of wildlife tours to the West African nation after the disease struck the region in December 2013.

Product manager Karen Durham said that the operator, which also runs trips to neighbouring Senegal, was “working closely” with agents to dispel fears travellers may have since the outbreak that claimed almost 30,000 lives on the continent – despite Gambia itself not recording any cases of the virus.
